Riviera Ballroom Update- Tourism Commission Meeting January 8, 2020

Marketing Update

HelmsBriscoe partnership- Payment is in process!

MATL & Riviera Ballroom website is updated and the url has been transferred. URL:

www.lakegenevariviera.com. Walk-through of website.

Catalog – Still updating to “The Riviera Ballroom & Beyond: City of Lake Geneva Meetings &

Events”.

Sales Update

Proposal submitted for a corporate group in June 2021: 160-185 guests, 2 day conference at

The Riviera and total of 320-370 room nights in city of LG hotels. RESULT- Group os staying in

Madison to omit the need for hotel costs. Will keep us in mind for future conferences.

It’s engagement season! High level of inquiries coming in for both 2020 and 2021. Confident we

will hit or exceed goal of 40 weddings for 2020.

Riviera Ballroom Cancellation Policy

Current policy:

“14. Cancellation: A cancellation fee of $100 will be charged for all cancellations 180 days or more prior

to the reserved date; the entire deposit will be forfeited if notified less than 180 days prior to the reserved

date.”

Concerns:

For a Saturday event, the City will be shorted $2,900 plus forecasted sleeping rooms because it’s not

likely to re-book the space within 6 months of the event date.

Potential for manipulation of the system with the low cancellation fee (November 7th example)

Industry standard is a non-refundable deposit ranging from $500 - $1,500 depending on size of space.

Proposed Changes:

Deposit is Non-refundable

A cancellation fee of $1,000 (deposit) will be charged for all cancellations. Cancellations made within 90

days of the reserved date will be required to pay 50% of the rental fee, minus the $1,000 deposit.

Cancellations made within 14 days of the reserved date will be required to pay the rental fee in full, minus

the $1,000 deposit.

*For events with a rental fee less than $1,000: A fee of $100 will be charged for cancellations made 180

days or more prior of the reserved date; the $1,000 deposit minus the amount of the rental fee will be

forfeited if notified less than 180 days prior to the reserved date.
